Mantis Windows problem

After installation I can see Apache BitNami page and can run phpMyAdmin
but not Mantis:

The following errors are in apache logs:
Acess.log
192.168.1.10 – - [26/Dec/2007:10:22:25 +0200] “GET /mantis/ HTTP/1.1” 302 -
192.168.1.10 – - [26/Dec/2007:10:22:25 +0200] “GET /mantis/admin/install.php HTTP/1.1” 404 305

Error.log
File does not exist: C:/Program Files/BitNami Mantis Stack/apps/mantis/htdocs/admin, referer: http://192.168.1.10:8080/

Im running Windows XP SP2, everything installed w/o errors.

Admin folder is really do not exist in “C:\Program Files\BitNami Mantis Stack\apps\mantis\htdocs\”
Now i trying to download latest Mantis and copy admin data to BitNami Stack.

Hi Aktion,

We have been looking into this, taking a detailed look at the installer logic. We have concluded that the most likely cause is a timing error related to MySQL, we plan to release a new version before the end of the week that will hopefully fix this.

Hi Aktion,

We have just released a new version that should fix this issue, please give it a try.

Cheers

Trying now. let you know on success.

Update:
Nope, same errors and no admin folder either.

Hi Aktion,

Please answer the following questions to help us track the problem:

• What are your computer specs? Mainly processor and RAM
• Do you have another MySQL process running in the background?

1. Intel Pentium 4 (D) 3 Ghz (2 cpu), 1 Gb Ram, WinXP SP2, Geforce 7900 GTX, Creative Labs X-Fi, 2 HDDs
2. Nope I haven’t any mySQL or apache installed.

We have released a beta version with the MySQL timers increased. You can find it at http://bitnami.org/stack/mantis

By the way, are you using a firewall? Could it be possible that you denied in the first installation the communication to the MySQL server? We haven’t been able to reproduce this issue, and the timers I have changed were high enough in my opinion. Maybe that could be the problem, would you mind to check it out please?

Cheers

I downloaded latest one – the same.
Yes I do using firewall – ill try to disable and install again. Let you know.

Any luck disabling the firewall?

Sorry been on holidays.
Just tried – same errors =(

Oh my :)

I will create a new installer with some debugging options enabled and release it to www.bitnami.org as soon as possible. Would you mind to try it and post here the contents of the file ‘postresult.html’, present in the installation folder?

You can find the latest version at http://bitnami.org/stack/mantis

downloading now.

Upd. List of postresult.html

This means that:

I think I finally know what’s happening :), but I have to figure out the best approach to solve this issue. We’ll release a new version that should fix this as soon as possible, stay tuned!

Aktion, please edit the file

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and add

127.0.0.1 aktion

below

127.0.0.1 localhost

It seems that your machine is not able to translate your hostname to an IP address, which is really strange indeed. Those changes should make it possible to install the stack, good luck!

I have “127.0.0.1 localhost” inside hosts file.
Trying install again.

Update. The same errors =(
There is no /mantis/admin/ folder. Absent physically – should it exist after installation?

Yes, what you need to add is the other line

127.0.0.1 aktion

Only following folders are inside “C:\Program Files\BitNami Mantis Stack\apps\mantis\htdocs\”

api
core
css
doc
graphs
images
javascript
lang
packages

The ‘admin’ folder is deleted by the installer after the installation, following the recommended guidelines on installing Mantis. Can I have a look into your ‘hosts’ file please?

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 aktion

1. # – this one turning off stupid flashfxp reminder
   0.0.0.0 flashfxp.com
   0.0.0.0 www.flashfxp.com

Are the contents of ‘postresult.html’ after installing still the same than before editing the ‘hosts’ file? I’m not able to reproduce this issue in any computer I’ve tried to

Yep =(

Funny thing – i just installed Redmine using Ruby stack – everything work perfectly!

We should add emoticons to the forums so that there is some way to show you how puzzled I am :)

Could you try to install another PHP stack? Not the Dokuwiki Stack, though, as it doesn’t install a MySQL server. Drupal, Joomla!, Wordpress or Mediawiki would be fine. Thx

But this will destroy my Redmine config right?
